The students had totake part in two competitions against other schools and they were judged for team work, safety, precision and accuracy.The first competition involved some forensic detective work in which they had to find the murderer from chemical testing a number ofsamples taken from suspects. The second competition involved some more analysis of athletes who were suspected of using drugs toenhance their performance. The ‘Hayes team’ had great detective skills and won the first competition. It was a pleasure to take the studentsto the event and they showed much enthusiasm for the day.
